unusually small, lying on the bank. An

A FALL IN WATCHES.
Marked Change in Ten Years I'm
styles and Sizes.


"Do you sec this old watch P" said q
matchmaker to a reporter for The Pits
Jurgh Dispatch the other day. He held
up an article that looked more like a
mantle clock, and proceeded to open ii
up. BY some twist of the thumbnail
that only matchmaker knows, he
opened the outer case and it looked
much like the shell of cocoanut. The
thumbnail got to work again and the
glass ,face was raised. Again the
thumnail acted, and the works were
turned out on huge hinge, and they
looked big and coarse enough to run q
rolling-mill.
That watch doesn't look as though
it was worth much" continued the
matchmaker, land yet its owner, who
was in here few moments ago, said he
must have it fixed at any price.
found couple of pivots broken, several
teeth bent and other damages | told
him it would cost "a. Fix it up he
said. 4 don't care if it cost $40 to fix it..
That watch belongs to my father. He
has had it for many years, long before
l was born. l don't think it could
keep time enough for pawnbroker,
yet he wants it liked up and it must be
DONE"
Now" continued the matchmaker,
THAT is very old style of watch.
He could buy far better one for the
price he would have to pay for repair
ing it. and one that would be much
more suitable, too. II is burden to
carry such watch. But men liked
them when they plowed, hammered
around among trees, fell into rivers,
etc. This old watch survives such mis-
haps, though it doesn't keep decent
time. 1t can't. Its machinery is too
rough and too old to keep good time.
"Yes, there has been great change
in the style of watches Years ago
big watches. with all the Towering that
could be got on the cases, were the
style. Then came the opposite, and
plain watches were the demand. The
lady's watch came, q neat, delicate 1t
tie thing, and then the men thought
the little watches were the ne plus Ill
ira. And the jewellers began to bedeck
the cases with pearls and other stones,
and the articles brought big prices.
After time the neat silver watch be-
gan to get its hooks in, and it was all
the rage.
Prices for watches have fallen re-
markably in the last ten years. l re-
member when people paid $3.50 and
$500 for hunting-case gold watch that
you now can get for $50 to $50, and
sometimes for less. The change in
